I live on the shores of Lake Michigan, where the weather is temperamental and everything is in motion. I crave experiences that overdose my senses, and believe that sometimes questions are more important than answers. I’m a shameless student, a proud owner of a number of disparate passions, a dedicated foe of ignorance and, above all, a lover of books and reading. When something mundane in my life is transformed into something extraordinary or profound, it leaks out here in the form of observations and reflections.
